Chapter 1133 The Queen and the First Lady
"Of course, I just said that it is possible. The United Kingdom naturally would not have such an idea, and the Soviet Union would not necessarily have such an idea. The United Kingdom still believes that it should be careful about misconceptions in this regard. The Soviet Union's nuclear weapons not only threaten Europe, this idea is very wishful thinking. .”
Whether this probability exists or not, it actually doesn't matter at all. Who has the courage to actually test a nuclear bomb?
Theoretically, Alan Wilson also knew that nothing happened today, but this thing was as powerful as a torpedo. No one knew what the result would be until the moment it hit.
The result of giving it a try is likely to lead to fleeting results, and no one is sure whether something is going on or not.
A nuclear bomb detonates in a stable place in the earth's crust and is not the same consequence as an explosion at a weak point. The latter is likely to cause earthquakes, which has also been proven.
Alan Wilson believes that the continent with the most stable crust in the world is undoubtedly Australia. .
Looking at the earth from outer space, even the color above is completely different from other continents, as if a continent from an alien galaxy has been attached to the earth.
In fact, as a continent that has never sunk in billions of years, Australia does seem like a dead and silent land.
If it weren't for the fact that Australia is a Commonwealth country and wants to push the limits and create nuclear weapons more powerful than the Tsar's nuclear bomb, Australia is indeed the best testing site.
Alan Wilson also explained that he was giving a friendly reminder to the United States and was never mixed with personal prejudice. If he had not been facing Kennedy, he would not have made this assumption at all.
Who in London didn't know that he had a close relationship with McCarthy? Completely a walking special relationship between Britain and the United States.
"Mrs. Jacqueline is still so charming. She perfectly embodies the style of the first lady. She has already caused a trend while she was still in Paris. It is not easy for the French to admire her."
Alan Wilson changed the subject and began to praise Mrs. Jacqueline's charm again. In a trance, he seemed to see Jacqueline wearing a black gauze and looking charming as a widow.
"Robert and I haven't seen each other for a long time. When I think about it carefully, although my working experience in the United States was short, it also left good memories. I look back on it with nostalgia now."
Alan Wilson's tone was full of social arrogance, and his few words had already taken care of several people he knew in the Kennedy family. His praise for Jacqueline was the most sincere and absolutely not false.
“Allan is such a person, and having such an energetic Deputy Secretary for Foreign Affairs adds a touch of brilliance to our work.
"Labor Butler said, "The special relationship between Britain and the United States is actually like the relationship between Allen and his American friends. "
"Of course, British-American cooperation is the foundation of the free world." Kennedy immediately replied with a smile.
Alan Wilson had finished the warm-up activities and stopped talking. He just secretly looked at the First Lady of the United States.
To be honest, compared to Marilyn Monroe, although in terms of dress, there doesn't seem to be much difference, he is Kennedy, and he can't control himself from making mistakes.
He had already given the cabinet his assessment of Kennedy, which was also the common understanding among people from all over the world before the Cuban Missile Crisis, that Kennedy was a weak president.
Although Alan Wilson knew in his heart that this was not true and even complained to Mountbatten, he still provided a wrong assessment without conscience.
This is also to give Eden more confidence. Kennedy didn't get anything in France, but he wanted this or that in the UK? Is this too much of a contrast?
Britain can never make more concessions than France, even now, especially now...
Does the UK currently have any recourse to the US? After getting rid of the situation of economic hostage, there should be no other aspects. The Anglo-American summit started with France's maverick and not very obedient status quo.
Alan Wilson then took a back seat to arranging First Lady Jacqueline's schedule. The cabinet ministers all went to receive the President of the United States. Originally, he did not need to come forward for this matter. However, in some aspects, Jacqueline was not very popular with Her Majesty the Queen.
The two parties determined the guest list for the dinner in advance. Unexpectedly, Her Majesty the Queen made a major deletion of the guests after reading the list without saying a word. why? It turned out that among these personnel lists, there were actually Jacqueline's sister and brother-in-law.
The Queen investigated the two people and found that Jacqueline's sister was not only divorced, but also divorced twice.
This was a big event in the British royal family. According to the royal family regulations at the time: divorced people were not allowed to participate in national banquets with foreign parties. This included British tradition and the conservatism of the royal family members.
The royal family was unwilling to come forward directly, and suddenly thought of asking Ms. Pamela's husband, who claimed to have a special relationship between Britain and the United States, to come to Jacqueline to communicate. This was very shameless.
"I want to meet Her Royal Highness Princess Margaret." As soon as she met Jacqueline, Allen heard this sentence on the hotline. The first lady asked mysteriously, "I heard that Her Royal Highness wanted to Want to leave the royal family?"
"The First Lady still cares about this kind of thing?" Alan Wilson looked disgusted. "The government has no right to interfere with the internal affairs of the royal family. Of course, I don't have the right to interfere. I am here to communicate the schedule of the Madam, sister, and the couple."
"What?" Jacqueline asked with some dissatisfaction.
"It is a royal tradition that divorced people cannot attend state banquets, let alone divorced twice." Alan Wilson said eloquently, "I hope the United States can also face up to the British tradition and not make unreasonable demands."
Jacqueline suddenly became angry, "Why are you British so old-fashioned? The era of the royal family has long passed."
"I will convey your words to the King of Egypt, the King of Libya, the Kingdom of Iraq, and even the King of Iran and the King of Thailand. Forget about Japan, the Emperor of Japan has long been a puppet."
In front of Jacqueline, Alan Wilson took out the garbled code that only he could understand. He solemnly wrote it down and said while gesticulating, "On this important visit of unity, the First Lady It’s always a little bit disappointing to get hung up on the minutiae.”
On major issues of right and wrong, he naturally sides with Her Majesty the Queen. In the future that can be seen with the naked eye, the Queen will still be the Queen, and in the future that he can see, Jacqueline may not be able to be the First Lady for long.
Jacqueline was speechless for a moment. This was very different from her popularity in France. At least in France, she was praised wherever she went.
"Does the First Lady have any other requests?" Alan Wilson put his notebook in his pocket and asked in a business-like tone, "Within the scope of my ability and without excessive demands, I am willing to provide all support, in addition to helping .”
Alan Wilson has been thinking that when Kennedy met de Gaulle, he complemented the happy president and offended France. Now it seems that Britain's role is not over yet.
Reaching out from Wick's hand, he took out an assessment of the diplomatic results of Kennedy's visit to France that had just been released a few days ago. Ellen Wilson handed it to Jacqueline to watch, "First lady, you should hope that Mr. President will get some diplomatic results." Bar?"
He felt a little disgusted when he said these words. Why did he sound like he was threatening his wife in some Japanese movies?
Sometimes in diplomatic work, one has to avoid telling the truth, but without being more straightforward, does Jacqueline really think that the popularity of public opinion is all she has gained from an important foreign trip?
"Of course, I still hope that these innocuous questions will not cause even the slightest obstacle to this visit. First Lady, now let's talk about Princess Margaret. I am willing to communicate with Her Royal Highness the Princess on this issue. , have an informal meeting, and bring your sister and brother-in-law with you, so it seems reasonable."
Alan Wilson's voice reached Jacqueline's ears, "I think? The first lady shouldn't refuse!"
"I heard that you have a very good relationship with Senator McCarthy. You are the same kind of people." Jacqueline sighed and secretly sarcastically said, "You are equally stubborn. If you were in the Republican Party, you might be able to shine. .”
"Eternal power is power..." Alan Wilson raised his eyebrows, which could be regarded as telling Jacqueline why he would firmly support Her Majesty the Queen and not compromise on this matter.
The result of the communication was good. Alan Wilson went to Buckingham Palace and informed the palace minister of the results of the negotiations. He also agreed to Jacqueline's request to see Princess Margaret.
Of course, after he left, Jacqueline also secretly complained that the Queen was just a mediocre, boring middle-aged woman, with old-fashioned hairstyle and clothes, and the palace she lived in was like a shabby country hotel. These words were commonplace. Naturally, the deputy chief couldn't hear it.
After Kennedy finished his schedule for the day, Jacqueline did not forget to complain to her husband about Britain's slight.
"He is a conservative in the field of British diplomacy." Kennedy said with a smile.
"How is your relationship with him?" Jacqueline asked, "It seems like he knows your brother."
"Well, the relationship is not bad. Robert was working for McCarthy at that time." Kennedy nodded, "The British Prime Minister and I have decided to find a time to hold a British-US summit meeting in a third party."
MI6 received the latest instruction from the Secretary-General. From past news reports, they picked out the matching shirts of Jacqueline and Marilyn Monroe to determine whether the First Lady of the United States was suspected of following the trend.
"Secretary-General, if discovered by others, he might still think that Britain is still in a period of monarchy." Richard White was dumbfounded.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Alan Wilson looked surprised. Isn't Britain a kingdom? "You just go and do it. The intelligence agencies need to clear up the source and let the people see the facts, not to mention this is a big issue of right and wrong."
Let Richard White leave and he still has to write a report? Regarding the Anglo-American summit and several possible demands made by the United States.
